For those who hate plastic but need a shatterproof water bottle, this is mine. I put ice in it at 7am and it lasts all day. It's dog and kid and small dumbbell proof, I suspect more than 15lbs would dent it.0 -

Yup, our grocery budget is also massive. I budget around 3000 Saudi riyals per month for just two of us for food, drink, and hygiene/cleaning products (That's about 800 dollars, you guys!). We eat tons of beef, chicken breast, deli meats, cereal, diet soda, and dairy products, all of which aren't exactly cheap around here. And that amount of money is even with buying local as often as I can.0 -

Confession: I'm bloaty and crampy and periody today, and after sitting and crying over nothing while my husband hovered in confusion, I told him that I was hormonal and he would just have to put up with me.
I also pulled something in my back by doing something idiotic, and it hurts something awful. Moving is agony. With back pain on one side and cramps on the other, I'm in the worst pain ever. For this reason, I feel entitled to my moody snifflyness.0 -

Are you Finnish?
I ask because the SO is and Finn pancakes are often a supper meal at our home. He's never mentioned or produced that dessert, however... surprising, considering his sweet tooth.
He's a total Finn food snob, lol. He sneers at the fundraiser Pulla I occasionally buy, saying it's nowhere as good as his mum's.
DH is lol... He's from the UP of Michigan (which has the highest concentration of Finns outside of Finland). My Pulla is decent but nothing compared to his grandmother's. He misses her food a ton (she's been dead about 5? years). I can make some stuff and I wish I knew the language but other than a few sentences, I don't.
I'm Irish (one side grandparents off the boat, the other side, one was off the boat) and a trace Serbian. I make a mean soda bread
I love soda bread!! I wish I knew how to make it.
<<<<<< This Italian makes a pretty killer Irish Soda Bread
Is it hard to make?
Now I really want some since I've heard about it in this thread a few times.0 -

I have the same problem with my face. I get super flushed whenever I work out. At physical therapy I am always so embarrassed because I turn bright red and sweat as I'm working out. I've always been like that too.

For weekends like this one, where we are going to be out of town, and I can't do my usual grocery store run, it stresses me.
I've occasionally done this as well. Tamimi is a 24 hour grocery store, so on days we expect it to be crowded my husband and I have been known to go in around 3 AM or so. The only problem is that the deli counter and the butcher are both closed until later in the morning, and the bakery delivery truck doesn't show up until 6 or 7 AM so there's no fresh bread on the shelves. No turkey, no beef, and no bread for me. Sigh.
It's true that the deli & meat departments are closed but I guess I don't get anything from those anyway. The meat department in this grocery store is not the best, neither is the produce but like @peleroja said, I usually go through any produce I buy rather quickly so it doesn't spoil. I forgot about Costco. I buy a lot of my meat from there or a local butcher. I buy a lot of everything from Costco. I kind of love Costco0 -

I've loved all of my trips to Trader Joe's. I just wish I lived closer to it.Hmm clothes shopping- first places I love to hit are Francesca's, Nordstrom Rack, and Old Navy. Then anywhere after that is usually H&M and Macy's. Love shopping for clothes but only when I'm feeling comfortable with my weight. Which right now I'm not
Grocery shopping my go to's are Kroger and Trader Joe's LOVE LOVE LOVE
I do all my toiletry shopping at Wal-Mart. It's way too expensive anywhere else to buy my toiletries!!
I have my doctors appointment on Monday so I might check it out.
HEB is my favorite grocery store but I usually buy my meats from Krogers or Wal Mart.0 -

The Y I tried out last year kinda sucked as well. It was specifically geared towards families, but they only provided child care to members between 2 to 5...? or so during the week, with no options on the weekend. There were NO squat racks, I had to supplement my weight routine with goblet squats, ancient machines, and the staff members were often too busy talking to their friends to keep kids from playing on the assisted dip / chin up machine.Italian_Buju wrote: »MelissaPhippsFeagins wrote: »I had a dream last night that I started SL 5x5. I was at the Y and I was completely lost on what to do and what machine to use and NO ONE would help me, they all just continued doing their thing even though I looked like a lost child hiding the clothes rack.
This is my fear. I will get up the courage to start and will be totally lost and no one will help me, so I just take myself back to the cardio stuff because it's easy and I have yet to hurt myself on it.
I have anxiety over this.
Your anxiety is understandable, but at least at my Y my fears proved unfounded. I was able to make an appointment with an employee to do an orientation. He showed me how to use everything and helped me with a program for the goals I had then. I've ditched it for mostly weight training now, but it was helpful a year ago.
Your Y sounds awesome, the one closest to my house, is not. The "trainers" that work there aren't all that interested in helping you unless you've signed up for one of their classes. I have a few friends that lift that I could probably sweet talk into helping me out the first couple times.
Really? That is crap!
At my Y I have one girl I have worked with off and on for a long time. That is one of the reasons I waited almost two weeks for an appt for the new machines cuz I wanted my girl (it only took that long because everyone was needing a session at the same time because of the new machines). She is wonderful, any time I want a session, I just book an hour with her....and she emails me regularly too.
Dang, I'm sorry to hear about your pain @Susieq_1994 . I hope things perk up soon.
I really love those Flex covers, @Glinda1971 .0 -

You can ask me or quiksylver! (Or Lois - I think that's what she is doing too). Have you looked at the app yet?
Very briefly. I watched the video for workout A but haven't gotten around to watching workout B yet. I am planning on starting next week, so I will watch B sometime this weekend or something. My plan is to supplement my HIIT with the SL 5x5 so I will do it on Tuesday and Thursday and maybe Saturday. I don't know yet, because I haven't checked out the program yet.
Any help you ladies could offer, would be tremendously helpful and greatly appreciated.
Yay for taking the plunge! I really wish you lived here and I would totally work out with you.
If you've been doing circuits already I bet you'll be able to start with the starting weights, but if you need to do dumbells at lower weights, do it. At first I think integrating SL with your HIIT will be fine, but you might see a point where you really need the rest day and you might not want to be doing HIIT MWF and SL TTS. For instance, I thought I would go on a run this morning, my buns disagreed after my lifts yesterday, and I want to make sure I do well tomorrow, so today will just be walking. I'm trying to be super aggressive with upping weight though, which is not necessary it's just my goal right now.
Don't get frustrated if you stay at a weight for a long time (trying to give advice that I should take myself). Having good form is more important.
I wish we all lived in a big sorority house and we could share food, and clothes (unless you're against that sort of thing) and, work out together. But we don't so I will just have to be a big girl and get over my fears.
I think I'll try doing the SL 2 days a week, then, if I feel like it, I can add another day. If not, then I'll scale back on my HIIT and try to keep up the lifting especially since Mr. Mo said he might join me. When I heard him say that last night, I wanted to full on make out with him because I've wanted him to work out with me for over a year and he wasn't having any of it.
Thanks again for all the encouragement and advice! I love you guys!

Another place I find workout clothes pretty dirt cheap are thrift stores. The best time to hit up the thrift stores are either 50% off days or if you're a senior citizen & they offer a special discount day.
I've found Under Armour, Nike, Reebok, & New Balance that looked like it was in new condition.
Speaking of clothing where do most of you shop for your clothing? Where do you do the majority of your grocery shopping?
I hate shopping for clothes, HATE. I seriously have a few items from high school and undergrad (I'm 33) still I still wear because I don't want to go shopping. I tried Stichfix for a while - you tell them your size and what you like and they send you things - and it was OK for a while, but I felt like they really wanted to dress me like my undergrads and didn't listen to what I said I wanted. I need to cave and do a serious shopping adventure but I'm not looking forward to it at all.
Food - I confess that I'm a total snob. I shop farmers' markets and our local co-op for produce/carbs and I buy all my meat directly from farmers that have good animal-happiness practices. Our mortgage is the only thing that is a bigger part of our budget than food, but I really love my food.
What now?! How do I get in on this?!
If I lived closer, I'd take you shopping. I've been told several times, that I should be a personal shopper and I would LOVE to help you out.
We like to buy most of our meat from a local butcher that offers only locally raised animals. I know the guy personally and he's a good dude, so we don't mind paying for quality meats. I'd LOVE to shop the farmer's markets but they're only open Saturday morning and we usually have other things going on. Maybe we'll make it this Saturday.

Yah not including protein powders and Quest bars we can run our bill upwards to 800-1000. We're working on cutting this back needless to say by cutting out the unnecessary and scoping out sales prior to shopping.0 -

Speaking of produce, new confession: I'm mildly allergic to tomatoes, and the riper and more delicious they are, the worse my reaction is. But I REALLY love fresh, ripe summer tomatoes--and we just bought a big bag of them from Carrefour. So the other day, I ate about half a kilo (one pound) of them in the space of less than 24 hours, and had a burning red rash around my mouth and inside it for the next day or two, which then proceeded to become a crusty, dried up shell of skin around my mouth. Worth it.

It only takes a few minutes at the end of every month to tally everything up and compare the balance in the software to the one in the bank account and account for discrepancies, etc. It would be pretty hard to keep up with it if my husband wasn't on board though, so I can see how that would be a waste of time.0
